North Cotabato Gov. Nancy Catamco expressed his thanks to the commitment of the Ministry of Public Works-Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao to build road networks to interconnect the 63 barangays to domestic trading centers, to schools and to medical dispensaries.
Catamco also said that she received on Monday a report that MPW-BARMM engineers held last February 4 an initial meeting with the Bangsamoro government’s designated governance coordinator for the 63 barangays, incumbent North Cotabato provincial board member Kelly Antao, to discuss essential infrastructure projects.
Bangsamoro Public Works Minister Eduard Guerra said Thursday the brainstorming sessions would soon be expanded, to also involve representatives from the 63 barangay governments, the Philstar report also said.
“Our initial goal is to identify needed road projects via consensus building. We shall coordinate all our efforts with the office of Gov. Catamco because these 63 barangays are inside municipalities under her watch as provincial governor,” Guerra said as quoted by Philstar.
Catamco had earlier said she will continue to extend economic and humanitarian interventions for residents of the 63 barangays that are now component-barangays of the Bangsamoro region.
She stressed that heir having become part of BARMM is not an absolute separation from the province. My administration and the BARMM government can cooperate on peace and development initiatives for the communities in these areas
Voters in the 63 barangays in North Cotabato, a component-province of Administrative Region 12, voted in favor of the inclusion of their villages into the core territory of BARMM during a plebiscite held in January 2019.
